Lack of cash? Self-imposed hardship.

We seem to continually hear of the global 'lack of cash' as justification for current change and hardship. Let's remember that that 'lack of cash' has just underspent sufficiently to buy a £200m C-17.

I would suggest that any 'lack of cash' for the boys and girls on the shop floor is driven only by the penny-pinching mentality of those above us who perceive savings as a measure of success.

There is an ever-growing disquiet caused by that mentality that is only likely to snowball.

Let's hope the pension can't be altered too much - it's all we have left.
